[Talos of Atmora]

6. Sorcerer - The Inquisition

My inner Dragonlance fanboy agrees with this.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

This was released in 1993 according to Discogs and MA.

Yup.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The Triumph of Steel rules.

Ah you're right, only recorded in 1992.

Meantime is basically metal.

 

[CiG]

HamburgerBoy has so much stuff in his list that I want to eventually check out.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

What else haven't you heard?

 

[The Ozzman]

Am I going to be the only one with Pantera in my list?

It's on my honorable mentions but a lot of stuff on both my top ten and my honorable mentions surpass Vulgar Display of Power for me. It's a good album though.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Vulgar Display of Power is an alright album. It would probably make my top 150.

 

[CiG]

What else haven't you heard?

These, bolded:

1. Alice in Chains - Dirt
2. Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow
3. Dark Millennium - Ashore the Celestial Burden
4. Atrocity - Longing for Death
5. Depressive Age - First Depression
6. Dream Theater - Images and Words
7. Helmet - Meantime
8. Thought Industry - Songs for Insects
9. Acrimony - In Unknown Direction
10. Holocaust - Hypnosis of Birds

Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow

I checked this out thanks to you, fucking amazing.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

re: Vulgar ... yeah, solid album. Would have probably cracked my top 20 for '92. Not too many classics that year(if any some can argue), but a shit load of good albums.

 

[CiG]

I think A Blaze... could be considered a classic.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

(if any some can argue)

Well, what can I say? Some people like being wrong.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I think Countdown, Blaze and Onward to Golgotha are classics.

Well, what can I say? Some people like being wrong.

indeed. but they wouldn't be wrong in saying that year didn't produce many classics.

Listen to Dark Millennium first. Perfect fusion of USPM, trad doom, and death/thrash. Pretty sure you have the highest chance of loving that one. Thought Industry last since you're probably not tr00 enough to handle avant-garde alternative stream-of-consciousness-poetry prog-thrash.

Glad you like Into the Everflow, the first two P Waltz albums are neck and neck for me, but that's definitely the more cohesive one.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

@CASSETTEISGOD I highly recommend that Dark Millennium album. It's surprisingly (for me, startlingly) intricate for a death/doom album and the composition is grand but excellently executed.

 

[CiG]

avant-garde alternative stream-of-consciousness-poetry prog-thrash.

Hahaha what a description.

 

[Vilden]

Considered Dark Millennium for my list and it's a great album but it suffers from sounding so obviously german.

It wasn't enough that you raped a quarter of their population in the Thirty Years' War, now you have to shit all over their cultural treasures as well, fucking racist

 

[CiG]

I'm listening to it now on Youtube. Yeah this is totally killer, majestic instrumentation so far but with very regressive, brutal and primitive vocals. Consuming Impulse-esque even.

There are some pretty awesome cleans on some of the other tracks as well. So, it's the full package.
